Wheat fungicides

Do you use them and how effective do you feel they are?

 

We have a variety with some leaf rust in an irrigated field.  And the recommendation is to spray it.

 

Will cost around 5 bushel per acre.  Will it save more yield than it costs??

Re: Wheat fungicides

Should be able to find a generic for less. I sprayed some for about $8.50 applied by air. Probably should have done more. Who'd have thought the wheat would revive like it did? Be sure to check the pre harvest interval. May be too late for some fungicides

Re: Wheat fungicides

Clayton58, 

 

Some of our dryland is going to be a mess with normal wheat in areas and new green sucker heads in other areas that will be 10 days behind in maturity.  Followed quickly by a good crop of weeds in the short crop........

The bad stuff is at least healthy enough to kill in favor of a second crop..
